Abstract

Yesterday we heard about some successful monitoring programs,but today I would like to share some findings from a study I did, which was basically a post-mortem of failed monitoring programs.There were about 30 projects,and I wanted to know why did they fail,and were there patterns of why they failed.The projects ranged from university studies,land management,and research. Costs ranged from $10,000 to $100,000.
